> I dont see where we get to throw the first stone so to speak.

The city manager threw the first stone by threatening legal action and making baseless accusations. No matter how many times or how many way the CentOS dev tried to explain it he only got more and more threatening. He also made the terminal error of claiming technical compentency while making those threats. The CentOS people displayed far more patience than I would have. As the earlier poster pointed out, a commercial operation wouldn't put up with it either.

I would have explained it once then warned him about legal action myself. Bad publicity is the least of what this clown deserves. If I were a taxpayer in that town, I'd be seriously worried about the quality of help my tax dollars were buying.
